Pros

Great place to start, you work on a lot of cool interactive projects. Sometimes people there complain about working on occasionally boring work, but AKQA is doing some of the best digital creative work in the world and are winning big awards now.

Cons

Sometimes late nights and weekends. They were a little cheap when it came to benefits, but I hear it's gotten better.

Pros

Design and Strategy teams on the west coast in 2021-2023 incredibly smart and strong in their craft. Overall it is hard not to be impressed with the output and some of what the brand can produce

Cons

NY and DC teams were unpleasant. Competitive fearful vibe compared to other creative and tech industries I have been in. My guess is because everything is based on what accounts and projects they can capture and during this time tech accounts were pulling out of further business as their markets slowed. WPP (the parent company) began lay offs and shuttered whole agencies exasperating this.
